    Default Is 15 watts ok for a fuge?

    I have recently installed a 250 watt MH on my tank. Now I have two 15 watt NO that were previously on the tank. One of them is a 10k and the other is an actinic. Would the 10k be enough light for the Cheato in the fuge or should I use the actinic or both or go buy something larger?

    Thanks.

    I think both of you NO flourescents would be fine for a fuge.However,go with a cheap full spectrum bulb like a GE 5500k or 6500k,Phillips makes them as well(I think they call them ultra daylight).They can be found at just about any HD or other hardware store.
